The adventure begins. I have arrived in Ecuador. 

So far so good.  Flights were fine.   Great hotel. 

The breakfast is similar to those that I had in Brazil.... runny eggs, wonderful yogurt drinks, fruits that I've never seen before and lots of breads and cheeses.  They also have guacamole, rice, veal sausages and empanadas.  

I'm off to get on a bike.  More later...
